I received a copy in exchange for an honest review!
What I say: I'm not particularly a shoe person but I love the cover! Inconceivable is a modern day retelling of Cinderella, but instead of Princes and balls we're given pampered society princesses and fortune hunters.
The book was a bit of a mixed bag for me because some parts I really enjoyed whilst others left me feeling kinda flummoxed. I liked the modernisation of the popular fairy tale, but it took me a while to warm to the characters and Allie never 100% won me over. Whilst I appreciated Allie's struggle, I found her slightly irritating for a large chunk of the plot - BUT I do understand that it's part of her journey to seem almost unlikeable (at times) before she realises her own faults. She's not all bad and I really loved how caring she was with the people she helped - Plus I completely understand why she feels like she does for her step-family.
I liked Angelo - he's funny, charming and kinda complicated. I did figure out his secret fairly early on and it did remind me of the Reese Witherspoon movie (sorry the name is too spoilery) but I still enjoyed it and him.
I wasn't entirely sure what to make of Adrienne, who actually seemed to get nicer as the story progressed. I think my overall confusion was because Allie was so different from what I expected that I didn't know how to feel about the other characters. But in a strange sort of way, the reason I liked the book was because it was so unexpected.
The story isn't overshadowed with lots of naughty scenes. I did like the ending and the more lighthearted moments were really sweet. As a big fan of fate in books, I liked the destiny element.
